What reviewers say
“Bom exemplar californiano. Vem de uma região ao norte de Napa entre a costa do pacífico e Calistoga, sofre um pouco da influência dos ventos costeiros do oceano.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fruity, young and meant for early consumption, this wine has scents of black currant, subtle vanilla oak and wood smoke. Layers of blackberry and blackcurrant fruit on the palate, with hints spice and dead leaves in the background. Well-balanced, with freshening acidity.
From Central Coast in the United States, William Hill Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon is a red. It sits in the $15–30 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $16.97.
1,880 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 1,956 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where William Hill Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,880.
